could this pattern be made in a quilt style?
http://www.elann.com/ShowFreePattern.asp?Id=138024
check the design laid out flat at the bottom of the page. i wonder if you made the sleeves up separately and sew'd them into the space between rows.... i guess u'd have to not add too much quilting or place it carefully so the jacket laid correctly. hmmmmmmm, might work. anyone see issues or got anymore ideas on this as a possible quilt jacket? just thunk'n outloud again. jeanne currently eating a late breakfast so brain still somewhat incoherent, probly this wont work at all |

That would mean you would need to increase the size of the sleeve and the distance between the sleeves for it to fit properly.

Of course you can and it will be gorgeous! Jeanne, I think you'd want to
make a test run with something of similar weight. How about a hunk of fairly hefty denim or maybe an old blanket? That way you'd know if your interpretation needed to be a little wider or longer or whatever. Please do it. I can't wait to see.

i thot of that.
either just two layers of patchwork design on top/reversible like a summer weight quilt or if any batting is used it would have to be extremely lightweight and any quilting would have to be quite sparsely. too much quilting and it would just not bend at all. theres more to this than meets the eye. i'm think'n thru it tho. jeanne "Anne Rogers" wrote... something quilted wouldn't drape the same way something knitted would Anne anything else i'm missing? |

maybe done with some old towels for use around the pool/beach.
it would drape with terrycloth. how about done in chenille? not that i've ever done any chenille but might work. is home made chenille bendy? i just like the way a circle has the arms incorporated (oops they wont work in chenille, oh well) and then one half folds back for the collar and front lapel. if done in summerweight, i could see maybe that bargello done in wedges would work? i'm just dream'n at this point. jeanne "Polly Esther" wrote...

Cute! Might be possible, but fiddly. (Wish I could see a front view of the
sweater -almost looks like the front sort of drapes into folds.) One could just cut an armseye on each side and then add proper fabric sleeves with a cap to fit well. The problem is that a quilted piece might be too firm to drape the way it should. Instead of doing it exactly like this, you might be better off taking a normal jacket pattern and cutting it out of your quilted piece. You could easily adapt the pattern to round in the back and come up to a sort of bolero front. Make a separate shawl collar and quilt that (re-cut after quilting the top) plus sleeves.
